Anchorage hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Anchorage hotel

• If you’d like to learn some local history during your trip to Anchorage, choose a hotel near the Anchorage Museum, such as the Extended Stay America, which is only a four-minute walk from the museum. The Anchorage Museum is full of exhibits on Alaska’s history, the city’s indigenous people, and regional art, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the area’s culture.
• To be within easy walking distance of the city’s main restaurants, shops, and attractions, select a hotel in Downtown Anchorage, such as the 4-star Sheraton Anchorage Hotel & Spa. This hotel is only a 10-minute walk to the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts and a nine-minute walk to the popular Alaska Wild Berry Products store.
• For travelers who enjoy running or biking, choose a hotel near the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, a popular trail that extends for more than 11 miles and provides excellent views of the waterfront. The GuestHouse Inn & Suites is only a 10-minute walk to the trail and a 15-minute walk to the local train station.
• Because parts of Anchorage are very remote and often lack widespread public transportation, using a car is one of the most practical ways to explore different neighborhoods in the city. To save money during your trip, consider a hotel that offers free parking, like the Crowne Plaza at the Midtown location.
• If you’re visiting Anchorage with your family, select a hotel next to Resolution Park, such as the Copper Whale Inn. Not only does Resolution Park offer unique views of nearby geographical features, including Mt. Susitna, but it also has a monument and educational information dedicated to Captain Cook.
